IBM Claims World's Smallest SRAM Memory Cell
nokiator writes "IBM issued a press release today claiming that it has built an SRAM memory cell that is ten times smaller than those currently available.
My interpretation of the PRese in this release is that IBM will be able to build 256Mb or 512Mb SRAM chips or integrate 32MB or more SRAM into processor dies for cache applications in the future. Of course, showing some SRAM cell prototypes is a long ways from being able to manufacture this technology in a cost effective way.
There is no information in this PR about the speed or power consumption of SRAM blocks that can be built with this new cell technology. This is not likely to be a potential DRAM replacement for mainstream applications as DRAM already offers more than ten times density compared to SRAM at much better cost."
The hammer evolution will overtake you and crush you beneath its peens.

Do the words "Cache Miss" mean anything to them?
Lets remember that with 64-bit CPUs, you're only storing half the instructions/data that you would with a 32-bit. But then again, if you can do twice the work...
...SRAM is for the elderly!
You forget the mighty balls and claws!

Hammer! Hah hah! That's great. Where did this come from?! --;
it is great, i'm considering using it as a sig.
